Immediately a buax of disapproval went around the audience, many of whom had brouaht a ropy of the play hook with them, "fuck to shouted one Inhabitant of the dreaa circle.

Strange though it may seem, there ar ao me who prefer turning somersault to being tho moat lauded and sought after matinee Hols in Christendom.

Huccesa and triumph Is spelled to them In the one word laughter. If their "stunts" evolve a joyous reception they are happy and would not give v.p their cap and bell and funnv "spiel" for any Tuedo and trarlc or sloppy deliverance which ever drew the tearful and adoring acclamations from a galaxy of Hurry matinee gtrla. or the realiy worth while part of any "aiar" man on earth. Were it not that tho men who take these odd part really enjoy them the chances are tnut neither would the audiences. There la never anything funny about a person who appear to be trying to be funny.

Here is where the -men who take these odd parts win Out. They do not try', the simpiy are funny. It is natural to them to be funny. They couldn't be otherwise were they to try--and of course Ihcy don't try In thi direction either. They enjoy tho rolea which are asaiKned to them and have a faculty of making their audiences enjoy them at the aame time.
